Chapter 1. Introduction
1.1 An Overview of the ADE-4120
The ADE-4120 ADSL Firewall Router provides office and residential users the ideal
solution for securely sharing a high-speed ADSL broadband Internet connection on a
10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet backbone. It has built-in 4-port 10/100Mbps Ethernet switch
for easily connecting to multiple PCs. They can support downstream transmission rates
of up to 8Mbps and upstream transmission rates of up to 1Mbps. It is compliant with
Multi-Mode standard (ANSI T1.413, Issue 2; G.dmt (G.992.1); G.lite (G992.2).
The products support PPPoA (RFC 2364 - PPP over ATM Adaptation Layer 5), RFC
1483 encapsulation over ATM (bridged or routed) and PPP over Ethernet (RFC 2516) to
establish a connection with ISP. The products also support VC-based and LLC-based
multiplexing.
They also serve as an Internet firewall, protecting your network from being accessed by
outside users. Not only provide the natural firewall function (Network Address Translation,
NAT), they also provide rich firewall features to secure a user’s network. All incoming
data packets are monitored and filtered per user’s configuration. Besides, they can also
be configured to block internal users from accessing to the Internet by user’s IP or MAC
address.
Furthermore, The PLANET ADE-4120 offers DDNS ( Dynamic DNS) and Multiple NAT
/DMZ functions which provide great convenience for user to build their own web/ftp
server on private LAN.
1.2 Package Contents
1. One ADSL Firewall Router
2. One CD-ROM containing the on-line manual
3. One RJ-11 ADSL/telephone cable
4. One CAT-5 Ethernet cable
5. One AC-DC power adapter (output: 9V DC, min. 1.5A)
6. One Quick Installation Guide
1.3 ADE-4120 Features
ADE-4120 provides the following features:
ADSL Multi-Mode Standard: Supports downstream transmission rates of up to 8Mbps
and upstream transmission rates of up to 1024Kbps. It is compliant with Multi-Mode
standard (ANSI T1.413, Issue 2; G.dmt (G.992.1); G.lite (G992.2).
Fast Ethernet Switch: A 4-port 10/100Mbps fast Ethernet switch is supported in the
1
PLANET ADE-4120 ADSL Firewall Router
LAN site and automatic switching between MDI and MDI-X for 10Base-T and 100BaseTX ports is supported.
Multi-Protocol to Establish A Connection: Supports PPPoA (RFC 2364 - PPP over
ATM Adaptation Layer 5), RFC 1483 encapsulation over ATM (bridged or routed) and
PPP over Ethernet (RFC 2516) to establish a connection with the ISP. The product also
supports VC-based and LLC-based multiplexing.
Network Address Translation (NAT): Allows multi-users to access outside resource
such as Internet simultaneously with one IP address/one Internet access account.
Firewall: Supports SOHO firewall with NAT technology. The packet filtering is also
supported for filter packets based on IP, MAC address and URL keywords.
Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS): The Dynamic DNS service allows you to
alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname. This dynamic IP address is the WAN
IP address. For example, to use the service, you must first apply an account from this
free Web server http://www.dyndns.org/.
PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE): Provide embedded PPPoE client function to establish a
connection. Users can get greater access speed without changing the operation
concept, sharing the same ISP account and paying for one access account. No PPPoE
client software is required for the local computer. The Always ON, Dial On Demand and
auto disconnection (Idle Timer) functions are provided too.
Virtual Server & DMZ: Users can specify some services to be visible from outside
users. The router can detect incoming service request and forward it to the specific local
computer to handle it. A DMZ host setting is also provided to a local computer exposed
to the outside network, Internet.
Rich Packet Filtering: Not only filters the packet based on IP / MAC addresses, but
also based on Port numbers.
Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) client and server: In the WAN site, the
DHCP client can get an IP address from the Internet Server Provider (ISP) automatically.
In the LAN site, the DHCP server can allocate up to 253 client IP addresses and
distribute them including IP address, subnet mask as well as DNS IP address to local
computers. It provides an easy way to manage the local IP network.
Static and RIP1/2 Routing: Supports an easy static table or RIP1/2 routing protocol to
support routing capability.
SNTP: An easy way to get the network real time information from an SNTP server.
Web based GUI: supports web based GUI for configuration and management. It is
user-friendly with an on-line help, providing necessary information and assist user
timing. It also supports remote management capability for remote users to configure
and manage this product.
Rich management interfaces: Supports flexible management interfaces with local
console port, LAN port, and WAN port. Users can use terminal application through
console port to configure and manage the device, or Telnet and WEB GUI through LAN
or WAN ports to configure and manage a device.

Chapter 1 Introduction
1.4 ADE-4120 Application
Internet Connection with Firewall:
They are the perfect solution to connect a small group of PCs to a high-speed broadband
Internet connection. Multi-users can have high-speed Internet access simultaneously. With
their packet filter and access control function, the internal network is greatly secured.

Chapter 2. Using the Router
2.1 Cautions for using the ADE-4120
Do not place the ADE-4120 under high humidity and high temperature.
Do not use the same power source for ADE-4120 with other equipment.
Do not open or repair the case yourself. If the ADE-4120 is too hot, turn off
the power immediately and have a qualified serviceman repair it.
Place the ADE-4120 on a stable surface.
Only use the power adapter that comes with the package.

Connect an UTP Ethernet cable to one of the
four LAN ports when connecting to a PC or an
office/home network of 10Mbps or 100Mbps.
After the device is powered on, press it to reset
the device or restore to factory default settings.
The operation is as below:
0-4 seconds: reset the device
5 seconds or above: restore to factory default
settings (this is used when you can not login to
the router, e.g. forgot the password)
Connect the supplied power adapter to this
jack.
2.4 Cabling
The most common problem is bad cabling or ADSL line. Make sure that all connected
devices are turned on. On the front of the product is a bank of LEDs. As a first check,
verify that the LAN Link and ADSL line LEDs are lit. If they are not, verify that you are
using the proper cables.

Chapter 3. Configuration
The ADE-4120 can be configured with your Web browser. The web browser is included
as a standard application in the following operation systems, UNIX, Linux, Mac OS,
Windows 98/NT/2000/Me, etc. The product provides a very easy and user-friendly
interface for configuration.
3.1 Before Configuration
This section describes the configuration required by LAN-attached PCs that
communicate with the ADE-4120, either to configure the device, or for network access.
These PCs must have an Ethernet interface installed properly, be connected to the
ADE-4120 either directly or through an external repeater hub, and have TCP/IP installed
and configured to obtain an IP address through a DHCP server or a fixed IP address
that must be in the same subnet of the ADE-4120. The default IP address of the ADE4120 is 192.168.1.254 and subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. The best and easy way is to
configure the PC to get an IP address from the ADE-4120. Also make sure you have
UNINSTALLED any kind of software firewall that can cause problems accessing the
192.168.1.254 IP address of the router.
Please follow the steps below for PC’s network environment installation. First of all,
please check your PC’s network components. The TCP/IP protocol stack and Ethernet
network adapter must be installed. If not, please refer to MS Windows related manuals.
Any TCP/IP capable workstation can be used to communicate with or through
the ADE-4120 To configure other types of workstations, please consult the
manufacturer’s documentation.
3.2 Connecting the ADE-4120
1. Connect the Router to a LAN (Local Area Network) and the ADSL/telephone
network.
2. Power on the device
3. Make sure the PWR and READY LEDs are lit steady & LAN LED is lit.
4. Before proceeding to the next step, make sure you have uninstalled any software
